A few decades from now, it is quite possible that we will look back on 2012 as a historic turning
point on climate change. While political and policy progress was woefully inadequate, something
incredibly disturbing but important also happened: we entered the age of climate consequences.
Washington Governor Jay Inslee recently said once we had the canary in the coal mine;
now we have the oyster in the ocean when talking about the evil twin of global warming:
ocean acidification. We are seeing the impacts of a changing climate and more carbon in the
atmosphere as our oceans get more acidic and affect our regions vital shellfish industry.
Superstorm Sandy flooded the backyards of Wall Street brokers and the front doors of major news
outlets, historic droughts left the middle of the country beyond parched, while wildfires torched
the West. 2012 was the warmest year in American history. Around the world, climate disruption is
taking a terrible toll, from flooding in Asia to tornadoes of fire in Australia.

Climate change is no longer something that we will leave to our kids, and whose impact will be
felt by future generations. We are experiencing it today.
One might be tempted to conclude its too late. Those who hope to squeeze a few more years
worth of record profits from fossil fuels certainly hope so. But they are dead wrong. Todays
climate disruption is enough to give us a taste of the devastation that would result from business
as usualthe devastation we can and must prevent. And its the jolt that should launch us
confidently and enthusiasticallyon the journey to solutions.
2012 also showed that states can lead the federal government to take action on global warming.
Washington and Oregon passed landmark Clean Car legislation in 2005, building off of a
similar California law. These policies led directly to President Obama adopting new national
standards in 2012 that will double the fuel efficiency of new cars by 2025. This is one of the most
significant policies in U.S. history in reducing global warming pollution.
2012 was a critical year in demonstrating the effective organizing, outreach, and communications
power of the Power Past Coal coalition. For the past two years, Climate Solutions has been a
central player in the broad and diverse coalition campaign to prevent the export of up to 136
million metric tons of coal from the Powder River Basin through Washington and Oregon ports
to Asian markets. These exports would lock-in dangerous climate change by accelerating global
investment in fossil fuel infrastructure, while committing our region to a high impact, low value
economic strategy. In 2012, we helped generate tens of thousands of comments to public
agencies and elected officials, helped turn out thousands of citizens at hearings and generate
hundreds of news stories. Coal proponents shelved one of the proposed export terminals and not
one permit has been issued for the other proposed terminals.
Weve also continued putting into place effective programs that demonstrate that solving the
climate crisis and building shared economic prosperity through the clean energy economy go
hand-in-hand:
Our New Energy Cities program helped cutting-edge communities demonstrate how to cut
carbon in the urban environment;
We celebrated our twelfth year working with rural communities to build rural prosperity
through clean energy;
We partnered with aviation giants on developing the path of sustainable aviation fuels;
We worked with partners to store more carbon in our farms, forests, and cities through our
Northwest Biocarbon Initiative; and
We built momentum for our Solutions Stories, which highlight narratives that show that the
clean energy economy is happening now.
2013 marks our 15th anniversary. As we look ahead, well keep driving change, seizing
opportunities, and pushing beyond the regions and our own comfort zones. We aim to cross a
new threshold, bringing a new level of urgency and imperative to the campaign, demonstrating
that solutions are not just practical and economical, but right and necessary in the age of climate
consequences.
The Northwest has emerged as a center of climate leadership, and Climate Solutions is an
active catalyst, advocate, and campaign hub for this leadership. For over a decade, we have led
successful initiatives to deliver climate and energy policy that accelerate the transition from fossil
fuels to a clean energy economy. We have built broad, winning coalitions for energy efficiency,
renewable energy, and carbon reduction policies that are positioning the Northwest as an
incubator and proving ground for sustainable prosperity.
The Northwest can lead the world in clean energy innovation, and Climate Solutions is charting the course to help us get
there. I value their expertise and appreciate their ability to get things done.
Washington Governor Jay Inslee
The New Energy Cities program catalyzes city-led clean energy innovation with small- to mediumsized Northwest communities by developing sustainable energy strategies to attain ambitious
greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and energy savings goals. We accelerate adoption
of climate-smart, clean energy solutions for the built environment, transportation, waste/water
management, and carbon storage through thought leadership; technical assistance; honest
brokering; advice on best practices; and case studies that focus on setting GHG reduction goals,
GHG quantification, clean energy financing, and working with utilities.
Our day-long energy efficiency workshop led by New Energy Cities made a significant contribution toward Boises efforts
to become a greener, more sustainable community. The teams expertise and perspective made a strong impression on
our participants and helped us chart a promising path forward as we strive to be the most livable city in the country.
Mayor David H. Bieter, Boise, ID
For over 12 years, the Harvesting Clean Energy program brought together people from
across the Northwest rural/urban divide to cultivate common ground and advocate for a
simple goal: to foster rural economic development through clean energy production. Our
final Harvesting Clean Energy conference in Corvallis, OR was a successful celebration of
practical and profitable solutions. We are very pleased to pass the Harvesting Clean Energy
program and future conferences on to the National Center for Appropriate Technology.
I want to acknowledge to you and your colleagues what a major contributor the Harvesting Clean Energy conference
has been, over time, to shifting minds in the region on questions of sustainability. While attendance has been diverse,
the missionary work to the rural and agricultural communities is what will truly bring the important return on investment.
Angus Duncan, President, Bonneville Environmental Foundation

Weve seen significant growth in our Business Partnership Programs across our region and
recognition among policymakers and clean energy leaders of our position as the vanguard
of the regions clean economy. Driven by our core business program, Business Leaders for
Climate Solutions, we bring together businesses, entrepreneurs, and investors from across
the Northwest who share a common belief that clean and efficient energy is good for the
economy. A high-level advisory council guides our program and reflects the involvement of
top companies and executives in our efforts like Microsoft, Starbucks, and Nike.
One of the goals of our company in owning, developing, and operating high performance buildings is moving to net zero
energy, water, sewage, and waste. We appreciate Climate Solutions efforts to secure effective clean energy and climate
policy that will assist us in achieving our vision.
Mark Edlen, CEO, Gerding Edlen
The Northwest is possibly one of the bestif not the bestareas in the world to develop sustainable aviation fuels. Climate
Solutions has played a key role building understanding and forging partnerships between businesses, researchers,
government leaders, and non-profits to make renewable jet fuel a reality. If it doesnt happen here, it will be hard to see
where it can happen elsewhere.
Dirk Kronemeijer, CEO, SkyNRG

The global aviation industry is mobilizing to reduce its contribution to climate disruption and
dependence on fossil fuels. Climate Solutions Sustainable Aviation Fuels program builds off
our pathbreaking report outlining a regional flight path to fuel our airports with significant
quantities of sustainable biofuels. We are building support for strong policies for advanced
renewable fuels, mobilizing regional leadership, and supporting international efforts to build
sustainable supply chains.
Climatesolutions.org/solutions-stories
The Solutions Stories project works to consistently capture and communicate the stories from
the Northwest of how we are leading and making the clean energy economy real. The stories
are narratives of inspired individuals, vibrant organizations, and innovative projects that show
decision-makers how solving the climate crisis and building the economy go hand-in-hand.
The media, and us included, must focus on stories of conflict, because compelling news is usually found where tensions need
resolution. That means we often overlook good news stories of solutions like these that are as important for the public to hear.
David Sassoon, Publisher, Pulitzer Prize-winning Inside Climate News

Coal companies are targeting Northwest ports as the gateway for coal terminals that would ship
up to 136 million metric tons of Powder River Basin coal. While the Northwest invests in clean
technology jobs for wind, wave, and solar energy, the coal export terminals would reverse major
commitments to reduce our regions contribution to global warming pollution. Climate Solutions
and our coalition partners with Power Past Coal are waging a regional campaign to halt the effort
to turn the West Coast into a gateway for coal export.
The effort opposing coal export terminals in the Northwest is the most exciting and inspiring work going on anywhere in the country
right now. Climate Solutions has been playing a key role helping catalyze an amazing coalition that is standing up against coal and
for a clean energy future.

standards was part of a coordinated, long-term national strategy that included building momentum with Clean Car laws in the states, including
Oregon and Washington, and supporting adoption of federal standards under existing administrative authority.
Supported Oregon Governor Kitzhabers strong plans for energy efficiency while calling on him to be more explicit about climate and the need
to continue our transition off of coal generation. Convened, coordinated, and coalesced with public interest allies and the business community
around the development and release of the Governor Kitzhabers draft 10 Year Energy Plan.
Worked with a coalition of clean energy advocates to preserve the integrity of Washington States Clean Energy Initiative 937 during the
2012 legislative session, as well as held off other anti-climate efforts like elimination of the State Energy Office and greenhouse gas reporting
program.
Helped drive adoption of the first-ever carbon emission performance standards for new power plants at the federal level. This national
standard, modeled after and inspired by ground-breaking emission performance standards in Oregon, Washington, and California, effectively
precludes development of new coal-fired power plants.
Advanced sustainable aviation fuels with the passage of a bill to continue the diverse stakeholder group originally convened by Climate
Solutions and provide easier access to capital for producing sustainable aviation fuels in Washington.We are continuing to build support and
momentum for appropriate policy at the state and federal level.
Released Powering the New Energy Future from the Ground Up: Profiles in City-Led Clean Energy Innovation, a report on small- to medium-
sized US communities pioneering a wide range of innovative clean energy solutions, that generated media coverage both in the region and
across the country.
Conducted New Energy City workshops with resulting action plans in Hillsboro, Oregon and Boise, Idaho, and wrote a Sustainable Energy
Strategy for Issaquah, Washington.
Coordinated the Northwest Biocarbon Initiative (NBI) in partnership with several leading conservation groups to highlight the essential role that
nature can play in reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Our Innovation Partners are pioneering biocarbon best practices on farmlands,
forests, and in our communities, exemplifying the key principle that the best biocarbon practices have mutiIple benefits.
Built support across bipartisian divides for clean energy tax credits, including the federal Production Tax Credit for wind energy.
BUILDING THE POWER OF THE CLIMATE AND CLEAN ENERGY MOVEMENT
Continued our work as a central partner in the Power Past Coal campaign to stop coal export off the West Coast. The proposed Grays Harbor
proposal was shelved and not a single permit has been issued for the other proposed terminals. We helped organize 40 Coal Hard Truth
forums along the rail lines in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Close to 30 local government entities, 560 health providers, nearly
600 business leaders, and 200 faith leaders sent letters to decision makers expressing concerns or requesting some kind of action in relation
to these proposals.
Continued to bring business leaders across the region into the clean energy policy discussion. In Oregon, we provided briefings for business
leaders on the Governors 10 Year Energy Plan and engaged business leaders in participating in the comment period. Additionally, we
provided policy briefings for our business leaders network in both Oregon and Washington and strengthened relationships with our growing
network of business leaders as preparation for the 2013 legislative sessions.
Led an effort to engage the military in clean economy issues and brought clean economy and military leaders together on several different
occasions to share information, network, and work together to accomplish our mutual goals. Additionally, we have engaged with military
leadership in Puget Sound and Oregon to identify the best ways for cleantech companies to work with the military to explore business
opportunities.
Garnered key coverage of climate change and clean energy issues. In 2012, we generated a lot of top news stories for our priority issues,
notably many national outlets covering coal export off the West Coast including TIME magazine and The Seattle Times running an opinion
piece by KC Golden and former EPA Administrator Bill Ruckelshaus, and Puget Sound Business Journal running an opinion piece by Swedish
Hospitals Lee Brei and our own Ross Macfarlane. Outlets across the country and closer to home covered the release of our New Energy Cities
programs Powering the New Energy Future from the Ground Up report. Huffington Post covered mileage-based insurance, and several outlets
including Wall Street Journal Market Watch and Think Progress wrote about our Solutions Stories.
KC
